Set up AWS Marketplace Commerce Analytics Service (MCAS)​

The Commerce Analytics Service accesses the Amazon S3 bucket and Amazon SNS topic after you configure the service with the ARN for the topic and name of the bucket. To enable MCAS, please follow the steps below. For more details, see the documentation.

  1. Log in to the AWS Marketplace Management Portal with the AWS account you use to manage your AWS Marketplace products.

  2. Ensure you have the necessary IAM permissions to enroll in the AWS Marketplace Commerce Analytics Service.

Set up AWS Marketplace Data Feeds Service (MDFS)​

To get the full structured, up-to-date product billing and customer information from AWS Marketplace, it is highly recommended to set up the Data Feeds Service. Follow the below steps:

warning
  • If you have set up the field MdfsS3BucketName with suger-mdfs-s3-bucket-{your-aws-account-id} in the previous cloud formation stack of AWS Marketplace integration, please skip the following step 1 & step 2 since the MDFS S3 bucket and KMS have been created.

  1. Go to the Data Feed Configuration page.

  2. Click Configure with Cloud Formation, a new page with stack template will be opened. Type in the Stack name with mp-data-feed (don't change this name since it is recognized by Suger service), and the S3BucketName with an unique S3 name suger-mdfs-s3-bucket-{aws-account-id}. Then click button Create stack.

    warning
    • The stack name must be mp-data-feed. Otherwise, Suger service won't recognize.
    • The S3BucketName must be suger-mdfs-s3-bucket-{aws-account-id}. Otherwise, suger service won't have permissions to access.
    • The stack must be running in the AWS region us-east-1, not other regions.

  3. Once the upper Cloud Formation stack is 'CREATE_COMPLETE', find the S3 Bucket ARN (for example: arn:aws:s3:::suger-mdfs-s3-bucket-{aws-account-id}) and the KMS Key ARN (for example: arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:awsAccountId:key/keyId), and input them to the Data Feed Configuration page. Click buttion Submit.
